Learning

Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.

Television gives to everyone. It’s not choosing whom to entertain and whom to not. It is just delivering everyone who is watching.

The greatest experience in life is when you simply give without any conditions, without any expectations of even a simple “thank-you.” On the contrary, a real, authentic love feels obliged to the person who has accepted his love. He could have rejected it.

When you start giving love with a deep sense of gratitude to all those who accept it, you will be surprised that you have become an emperor – no longer a beggar asking for love with a begging bowl, knocking on every door. And those people on whose doors you are knocking cannot give love to you. They are themselves beggars.

There were two great astrologers. Every morning they used to meet on a certain crossroad. From there their paths separated; they practiced in different parts of the city. But it was almost a daily ritual: meeting on the crossroad before departing towards their sections of the city. They used to show their hands to each other, asking, “What is my destiny today?” And they were great astrologers! They were telling people their destinies and they did not know their own destinies for which they had to consult another astrologer who was consulting them! They each read the lines of the other and predicted.

Beggars are asking each other for love and feel frustrated, angry, because the love is not coming. But this is bound to happen. Love belongs to the world of emperors, not of beggars. And a man is an emperor when he is so full of love that he can give it without any conditions.

Then comes an even greater surprise: that when you start giving your love to anybody, even to strangers because the question is not to whom you are giving it; just the very joy of giving is so much that who cares who is on the receiving end? When this space comes into your being, that you go on giving to each and everybody – not only to human beings but to animals, to the trees, to the faraway stars because love is something that can be transferred even to the farthest star just by your loving look. Just by your touch, love can be transferred to a tree – without saying a single word. It can be conveyed in absolute silence.

First be full of love, then the sharing happens. And then the great surprise.that as you give you start receiving from unknown sources, from unknown corners, from unknown people; from trees, from rivers, from mountains. Love starts showering on you from all the nooks and corners of existence. The more you give, the more you get. Life becomes a sheer dance of love.
